Hoping to get a variation by council due to the rock (as it adds stability so we shouldn't have to go so deep). Just hit some that isn't really easily penetrable eeeeeekkkkk! Lets hope it is random and only there. We find out tomorrow! There goes my downlights to pay for the rock drill hours Re: Modified Geneva Fairmont build @ Seaford Meadows 84May 01, 2013 4:43 am hope all goes well amancharmar. Re: Modified Geneva Fairmont build @ Seaford Meadows 85May 01, 2013 9:36 am I hope the rock turns out to be a good thing for reducing the depth of support posts to offset some of the drilling costs. Its so frustrating spending money on retaining/drilling and not being able to spend it on the inside! Is this retaining the top side or bottom side of your block?

On one side we got further through the rock than the low side. Think we are about to discuss alternatives such as using the slab to hold up the wall. Going to get expensive. Goodbye most extra things we planned on :(:( Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2 Re: Modified Geneva Fairmont build @ Seaford Meadows 90May 03, 2013 3:50 pm Good news. We have amended approval from the council with the reduced pier depths due to rock. Won't have to keep spending hundreds on drilling through impenetrable rock! Will have concrete poured into them on Monday. Yay!!!
